Emperor William has fifty-two castles, so that porting with a few of Jhein to get a little pocket money will be no hardship. London is In the midst of a rollerskating erase. This Is more sensible than the high rolling usually associated with London. Men like admiration and prniso Just as much as women do. though it Is a part of their code to conceal this, said Arthur Pendenys. Prof. Goldwln Smith says muscle counts for little in this world. It is evident that Professor Smith is not a careful reador of the sporting columns Mrs. Hetty Green has gone to live with her daughter and on-ln-law in New York.

Archaeologists have Just discovered that dogs existed In the stone ageSure, admits the New York World. And some of them show their good breeding more than many humans.

Notwithstanding the old saying, familiarity does not always breed contempt There Is no disrespect In the minds of the organisers of "Bill Club No. 1 of the World." who have elected President Taft to membership. All the other members are also familiarly called "Bill" by their most Intimate frlonds. It actually seems safer now in this country to kill a man than to wreck a bank. In the case of the former crime It appears an acquittal may always be depended on if the reputation of fern inine relatives is blackonod with the thoorotlcal purpoio of allowing the Jurymen tho montal condition of the murdorer. One of tho first lessons that philan throplats must loam Is that It Is not always easy to do good. Thore Is a perversity In human nature, even when inspired by tho best Intentions, which sometimes seems to operate Invincibly In favor of wrong. If the mischief that I dono by thoso who mean nothing hut good could be eliminated from the vorld tho sum total of orror would be noticeably reduced. Th latest London health fad 13 dn ing hot milk.

HOLD BOUTS ON ROOF TOPS.

Occupants of Skyscraper Cheer As Scrappers Bang Each Other. "If vour office is In a skyscrapor you seo lots of funny things flirtations and evon list fights on the Hut roofs below you," said a man whoso business eyrie is on tho thirty-first lloor of the Singer Building. "About 1 o'clock last Saturday urtornoon I spent an interesting 10 minutes watching through my Hold glasses I always do keep 'em on my deskone of the prettiest prize fights that I ever saw. It was an amateur affair, of course, but I've paid many a $3 note to see worse. "I had finished my day s work ami everybody had gone home. I was gazing idly out of tho window across tho roofs when I saw half a dozen mon appear on the broad graveled top of the Silversmith's liuuiung. une oi them carried a pail of water, another had an armful of olllco building towels. Two of the other four appeared to be the spectators or promoters or the affair. -In a Jiffy two of the men stripped off their upper garments until they stood In their undershirts and trous1 . -. 1 - I tl. ers. rue men snoou nanus in uio regulation style, and then they waded Into oach other hammer and tongs. One of the bystanders held a watch and the other refereed the fight. The rounds were two minutes long, and there was action a-plenty every second. The battlers did not know much about boxing. They appeared to bo clerks who had decided to adjust some grudge by force of arms. What they lacked in skill they more than made up lu the savageness of the attacks. "There was no holding on, no running about or sparring for wind. It was just punch, punch, punch. Inside the first minute blood was flowing from each man's nose, and when the initial round was ended they were pretty well out of breath. There wa3 no need for the seconds to fan them with towels or spray water over them, for the wind was blowing briskly. Their faces were bathed hurriedly, and. the one minute of intermission over, they went at pummeling each other again. "The fight lasted for four rounds, and then a lucky swing sent one of the contestants to the grass I mean the gravel. The referee counted him out, and tho remainder of the bucket of water dashed Into his face brought him to. All the fight was gone out of him. and tho two men shook hands most amicably and put on their coats. Then everybody vanished Into tho building again. I am going to stay at the office every Saturday afternoon in the future to seo if I can got any more such free entertainment." New York Press. HIGH TIDE ON THE STAGE. Breaking Waves Dash High In London Hippodrome. The latest feature, at the London Hippodrome Is a spectacle entitled, "The Sands of Dee." which culminates in the rescue of the heroine, gagged and bound to a stake planted on the oench, just as the rising tide sends In great breakers which nearly overwhelm the girl. Nine huge rollers sweep across the stage in a most realistic manner, and the hero, on the back of a swimming horse, barely reaches the unfortunate heroine as thc water laps about her shoulders. The apparatus necessary for tho production of waves Is very simple. Seventy-nine feet above the stage. In the flies, are three great tanks, each capable of holding five tons of water and fitted with an arrangement whereby the, water may be discharged In a solid mass as though tho bottom had fallen out 4 A wave producing board Is built up in the stage Immediately beneath tho tanks, says Harper's Weekly, extends across the full width of the prosce nium opening, and Is concave in lorm, with the back ten feet high and tho front edge only about twelve Inches above the trough. The fallln water swirls as It strikes the hollow of this board and Is pro jected In a solid sheet about thirty fpot Into the air before It breaks In tho arena. A back cloth and waterproof paint aid materially In creating the illusion. Nine waves dash Into the arena nt lntorvals of six seconds and the roar of the breakers Is very similar to tho surf. A high pressure main fills the tanks In three seconds after they are emptied. PUTTING HIM WISE. How Detective Adair Was Given Some Interesting Information. "We can learn from all men, even from the humblest," said IL K. Adair, a detective. "Turn n deaf ear to no man. Tho lowliest tramp may have Information of Incredible Interest for you. "I well remember a walk I once took down Market street. As I strode along, proud and happy, a rose In my buttonhole and a gold-headed cane in my hand, a drunken man had tho impudence to stop me. '"Ain't you Mr. Adair?' he said. " 'Yes,' said I. 'What of it?' "'Mr. Adair, the detective?' ho hiccoughed. '"Yes, yes. Who aro you? I asked impatiently. " 'Mr. Adair, said the untidy wretch ns ho laid his hand on my shoulder to keep himself from falling, 'I'll tell you who I am, Mr. Adair. I'm hie the husband of your washerwoman. "'Well, what of that?' said 1 scornfully. "My scorn brought a sneer to th3 man's Hps, and ho said: '"You sec, you don't know everything. Mr. Adair.' 'What don't I know? I demanded. "Well.

What Is the right pronunciation of this word? It Is usually pronounced by English people as If It were French, with a soft, sibilant g. and in ono syllable. Is there any justification for this? In the first place, why is it not Anglicized, like Waterloo? And If not English, why French? Why not Flemish? In Bruges Itself you do not hear the French pronunciation. It Is the Flemish Bru-ya. Ask at the station If this is Bruges (a la Francaiso), and they will hardly understand you. They will say It, "It Is Bru-ya." In Longfellow's "Carillon," and also In "The Belfry of Bruges." the word has two svllables. Is this Intended to bo read with the Flemish pronunciation (Bru-ya) or In the English fashion (to rhyme, say, with "subterfuges")? It cannot be the French. It may bo said that an American poet Is no rule for Engllßh people, but the word also occurs, I believe, la one of Browning's poems (I cannot remember which) with two syllables.
